getting a temporary roof on the
facility to secure and protect
exhibits.

Crews did encounter an unwelcome
surprise- in addition to foam and
aluminium - abestos titles from the
orginial roof also came down.

Severe winds picked up the roof of the
Virginia Museum of Transportation and
exposed exhibits in the future aviation
gallery and the main hall.

It's a roof that's housed the facility
for less than a year.

The good news - firefighters and museum
